Melilla: un espejismo en el camino a Europa

No parece haber consenso entre quienes llegan a Melilla sobre si se consideran ya en Europa o aún en África.

Minimum, maximum and mean annual ground temperatures in permafrost around Abisko ANS between 2008-2009

Monitoring of permafrost has been ongoing since 1978 in the Abisko area, northernmost Sweden, when measurements of active layer thickness started. In 1980, boreholes were drilled in three mires in the area to record permafrost temperatures. Recordings were made twice per year, and the last data were obtained in 2002. During the International Polar Year (2007-2008), new boreholes were drilled within the 'Back to the Future' (BTF) and 'Thermal State of Permafrost' (TSP) projects that enabled year-round temperature monitoring. Mean annual ground temperatures (MAGT) in the mires are close to 0°C, ranging from -0.16 to -0.47°C at 5 m depth. Data from the boreholes show increasing ground temperatures in the upper and lower part by 0.4 to 1°C between 1980 and 2002. At one mire, permafrost thickness has decreased from 15 m in 1980 to ca. 9 m in 2009, with an accelerating thawing trend during the last decade.

Att bygga kundrelationer i en digital värld : En kvalitativ studie om hur företag kommunicerar på sociala medier

Framväxten av sociala medier har kommit och få en viktig funktion i dagens medielandskap.  Att sociala medier har gjort det möjligt för företag att vara tillgängliga där konsumenterna redan är har gjort sociala medier till en naturlig kanal för marknadskommunikation. För att driva en lyckad marknadskommunikation har företagen blivit alltmer personliga i sin kommunikation i syfte att bygga starka relationer med sina kunder. Vi har i denna uppsats valt att undersöka hur företag kan använda sociala medier för att skapa relationer med sin publik och stärka varumärket.   Studien har avgränsats till att undersöka hur researrangören Ving använder de två största mediekanalerna Facebook och Instagram. Studien har baserats på en textanalys där innehåll på Vings sociala medier har studerats. Vidare har studien kompletterats med en expertintervju i syfte att redogöra för vad Ving säger att de gör på sociala medier i relation till vad som faktiskt publiceras. Med hjälp av teorier inom sociala medier, relationsmarknadsföring, asymmetrisk och symmetrisk kommunikation samt innehållsmarknadsföring är vårt intresse i denna studie att undersöka vilka strategier Ving använder för att lyckas med sin kommunikation på sociala medier. Resultatet av studien visade att innehållet präglades till största del av inspirerande och informativa inlägg. Med en personlig ton och en kombination av symmetrisk och asymmetrisk kommunikation uppvisar Ving att företaget lyckats skapa en dialog med sin publik.

Identifying frames:a comparison of research methods

Framing plays an important role in public policy. Interest groups strategically highlight some aspects of a policy proposal while downplaying others in order to steer the policy debate in a favorable direction. Despite the importance of framing, we still know relatively little about the framing strategies of interest groups due to methodological difficulties that have prevented scholars from systematically studying interest group framing across a large number of interest groups and multiple policy debates. This article therefore provides an overview of three novel research methods that allow researchers to systematically measure interest group frames. More specifically, this article introduces a word-based quantitative text analysis technique, a manual, computer-assisted content analysis approach and face-to-face interviews designed to systematically identify interest group frames. The results generated by all three techniques are compared on the basis of a case study of interest group framing in an environmental policy debate in the European Union.

Permafrost longterm monitoring sites (Arctic and Antarctic)

About 50 locations ('cold spots') where permafrost (Arctic and Antarctic) in situ monitoring has been taking place for many years or where field stations are currently established (through, for example the Canadian ADAPT program) have been identified. These sites have been proposed to WMO Polar Space Task Group as focus areas for future monitoring by satellite data. Seven monitoring transects spanning different permafrost types have been proposed in addition.

Risk Consumption: Children and Online Gaming. The Problem of “Responsible Gambling”

Online gambling is a popular activity among adolescents. However, there has been a notable increase in the number of young people who suffer or are on the verge of pathological gambling. We review the impact of online gambling on young people and discuss the desiderability of the concept of “gambling responsibly” in order to alert of their risks and effectively prevent access to minors. The main factors associated with pathological gambling are the age of start, the family environment, the infl uence of advertising, the consumption of stimulants, and the attitudes of the peer group. Both the government and the gaming industry itself should consider these factors and develop comprehensive plans that ensure a safe and controlled model game. In this context, advertising must take into account criteria of consumer protection knowing that even if they are not allowed, children can easily have access to online gambling. All agents involved, including public and social agents, must provide mechanisms for prevention and awareness of a problem that arouses little social consciousness and excessive carelessness.

Las comedias húngaras de Lope de Vega: una cadena de intertextualidad y reescritura

Dentro del conjunto de comedias dedicadas a la historia de Hungría, Lope de Vega cuenta con tres comedias con numerosas similitudes: El príncipe melancólico, El cuerdo loco y La sortija del olvido. Este trabajo examina las relaciones de intertextualidad y reescritura en las tres obras, así como algunos aspectos del desarrollo de la comedia palatina lopesca.

The activity of the feminist online publications: challenges for the transmission of the feminist culture in Spain

Traditionally, big media corporations have contributed to hiding the women’s movement itself, as well as its main claims and topics of discussion (Marx, Myra y Hess, 1995; Rhode, 1995; Mendes, 2011). This has led the feminist movement to develop its own media generally print publications, usually, with a very specialized character and reduced audience. This is similar to what has occurred with quality main stream media, asthese publications have had to adapt themselves to a new communicatiion context, because of the financial crisis and  technological evolution. Feminist media has found in the Internet an excellent opportunity to access citizens and communicate their messages. , In view of this scene of change and renovation,  this article offers the results of a qualitative analysis focused on the experiences of four feminist online media sites edited in Spain: Pikaramagazine.com, Proyecto-kahlo.com, Mujeresenred.net and Laindependent.cat. Besides exploring the characteristics and content of these sites, the article pays attention to the virality of their contents spread through Facebook and Twitter. The onclusion estimates their social impact, insofar as they symbolize the specialization, diversification and dialogue promoted by the Web.
